THr friends Of Hon. c. G. Carlis

THE friends of Hon. c. G. Carlisle,
at Washington, begin to manifest
some anxiety both as regards his re-
election to the speakers Office and also
his contested seat The anxiety arises
from the fact that Labor man is
contesting his seat and if all the
Labor members unite with the Repub-
licans in opposition to him, they may
defeat him as speaker even should they
fail in giving the seat to the party
contesting. The defeat of Mr.. Car
Isle, in either case, would be nation
al calamity for he is one of the fore
most men in the National Legislature.

Signal-Seryice Work.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
duties of the United States signal
service department are for those in
the minor branches exacting and the
salaries paid quite small, there arc
great number of applications constant
ly coming in. The assistant ohser-
vers, or privates as they are ranked,
only get 81, 900 per year for the New
York station. AT all other stations
east of the Mississippi, except Boston,
Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago,
and jacksonville, the pay is $50 per
month. The sergeants of the highest
rank provided for in the service get
only about $40 per month more.
To secure place in the service an
application to the chief signal officer
at his headquarters in Washington is
the first step. A prompt answer may
be expected, which will state whether
or not any men are wanted in the SER
vice. If there are vacancies blanks
will accompany this response, on
which the applicant must fill out the
answers to a lot of questions that con-
stitute preliminary examination. If
this paper is satisfactory the applicant
is referred to Washington or the near
est large signal service station to his
home, for more thorough examin-
alton follows. This being satsfactor-
lily passed, the applicant is enlisted
and assigned to a station, where he is
broken in to the work of the service.
The necessary qualifications, as
shown by the examination, are first,
quickness in figures with the accom-
paniment of accuracy. The higher
mathematics are not requisite, plain
arithmetic being all that is necessary.
The other branches touched upon are
grammar, geography, history, PEN
manship, and spelling. The history
is United States and the geography
local. but very thorough. Self reliance
is looked for, and man is expected to
be able to take charge of station
when he has had little experience.
In the service his education is sup
posed to continue. He is expected to
gain knowledge of astronomy, on
which there is no preliminary examin-
alton, and to keep up with the de-
velopment of new theories and mete-
geological methods.-NeU York San.

Joe JeffersOn's Home.

Mr.. Jefferson has built typcally
Southern house of baronial proper
tions, full of treasures from every
country in the world, on the very crest
of the hill; the verandas, with front
age of ninety feet, overlook the plain
of Attakapas to the Gulf A hedge of
roses nearly as thick as the Chinese
wall runs for seven miles around the
uplands, dividing it from the sea-
marshes.
When the roses and magnolias and
orange plantations which encircle the
house are in bloom they send their soft
greetings through the pure air for miles
across the prairies.
The plantation is in charge of an
Acadian overseer, M. Joseph Landry,
who is a good representative of his
race, and curious specimen, too, of
the kind of man which intelligence,
shrewdness, brave simple nature,
and tremendous physique will make,
with no help whatever from society or
schools. The loyalty of these people
to their employers belongs to the
feudal days. The night before, Lam
dry had faced single handed a herd of
angry cattle, standing in the narrow
lagoon in water to his waist from dark
until morning, to keep them from rush
ing down to the flooded sea marsh,
where they would inevitably have
drowned. "Can fight lie wat ct lie
cat" he grumbled, "but lie mosquit'-
he beat me-"
Mr.. Jefferson is known to his Aca-
dian neighborhood and the negroes
only as planter, wise in oranges and
cattle. but they have an intense curl
osity concerning some other myste-
rious avocation which he is vaguely
reported to follow during the summer,
and which they suspect has something
to do with swallowing fire and swords.
One of his negroes, when they were
alone together on the prairie one day,
burst out with: ms Jef'son, lemme
see dat ar. We hyah all by oursePs.

for thirty years. l had to apologize
and scrape the paint off the rocks be-
fore he would let me upstairs. He
promised to shoot if l showed up there
again, and that is why went to the
AdirOndacks this summer.
But there are pleasant features
about the business. Now and then |
meet man who appreciates my work
and tells me so. One man in Columbia
county had me paint all his outbuild-
ings with signs. He kept bOarders,
and when the people from the city
came up and saw the same things they
were accustomed 10 see in taking a
ride on the elevated or in crossing the
Brooklyn bridge they felt at home at
once. He had pretty gorge near the
house, and | painted sulphur spring

good work painting signs on wire
fences. But the rocks are always with
US. You may have noticed that the
upper end of Manhattan island is
pretty well painted over. Before next
summer we hope to have the scenery

in profusion in the virgin forest which
stretch from the waters of the Ariari

Vanished Childhood.

Like the purple mist of morning, when the
sun is blushing red;
Like the wild bird of the woodland, when the
summer flowers have fed;
Like the dewdrop, fresh ard pearly, that is
sparkling on the grass:
Like the wild rose of the meadow, when the
summer breeZes pass;
Like the hoar-frost on the forest, like the rime
upon the hill,
Like the ice that on the mountains locks the
murmuring r1lL
So the children vanish, mistlike, from the val
ley and the shore,
And the city and the country home shall know
their place no more.
They We're playing with their marbles they
were dressing up their dolls;
They We're cutting little fingers; they were
getting dreadful falls:
They were winning all their elders by their
dewy childish charms;
Finding sOlace for their every woe in moth
er's shielding arms.
Only yesterday their happy laugh was ring
ing the air;
Only yesterday they stood before U.s. bloom
ing sweet and fair.
But Ike the evening shadows they have van
fshed from our sight;
They will never walk with US again, nor make
our pathway bright.
From the trickling rin the brooklet to the
sweeping river grows;
While we look, before we know it, comes the
bloom upon the rose;
Where the children vanished, wraith-like,
stands another, sturdier race,
In the pride and strength of manhood, and the
bloom of maiden grace.
Ere we know il, to the young man comes
vision wondrous sweet,
And for 1t, he feels the strength to bring the
world beneath his feet;
Ere we know it, to the maiden comes dream
SURPRISING fair,
And soft and mystic radiance shimmers for
her through the cir.
Like the purple mist of morning, when the
sun is flushing red;
Like the wild bird of the woodland, when the
summer flowers have fed;
So the children vanish, wraith-like, from the
valley and the shore,
And the patter of their little feet viii go with
no more.
But the loving hearts are with us STILL the
grace has only grown.
Like a chrysalis expanding, or rosebud that
has blown;
And though we love the prattlers, yet we
would not wish them here,
If to win them we must lose again these
others, grown so dear.
